EXPLANATION:
Alluvial soils are the largest and the major soil category of India, spreading to about 15 lakh square km or around 46 percent of India’s total land area. Alluvial soils contribute the biggest share of India’s agricultural capital and support the majority of India's populace.
Owing to the softness of their fertility and strata, alluvial soils are best suitable for irrigation and react well to well, tube-well, and canal irrigation. When rightly irrigated, alluvial soils yield splendid crops of wheat, rice, tobacco, sugarcane, jute, cotton, maize, vegetables, fruit, and oilseeds.
